How far does the back end of a bus swing out as the driver makes a turn at an intersection?'' is the problem discussed. (MM)

Models from evolutionary theory and inbreeding analysis are used to illustrate applications of probability, statistics, sequences, calculus, and matrix theory to genetics. (MM)

Non-traditional methods of presenting and solving calculus problems in high school mathematics classes are presented. All problems deal with the principle that the maximum product of two numbers whose sum is constant is obtained if the numbers are equal (i.e., the arithmetic mean of n numbers is greater than or equal to the geometric mean). (JG)

Efficiency of algorithms for evaluating polynomial expressions and an alternative method for evaluating Sf(x) eaxdx are discussed. (FL)

This article first appeared in the American Mathematical Monthly in January 1929. In addition to some general concerns, six reasons for lethargic student attitudes are discussed. Stressed is the need to keep mathematics instruction in the hands of teachers prepared to teach mathematics. (MNS)

Examples are given of problems which can be solved pictorially, thus aiding in the general development of geometric intuition and in developing some of the basic ideas of probability. (MP)

Graphing techniques are used to demonstrate the inverse function theorem and that the graph of the inverse function can be obtained by flipping the graph about the line y=x. (MP)

A geometric interpretation of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus is provided and its use is suggested as enhancing student understanding. (MP)

Student errors led to this exploration of the conditions under which log of x base a = x. The discussion requires only techniques contained in a first-year calculus course. (MP)

An example is given of a lesson that mixes the manipulative skills of algebra with some problems and concepts of calculus; namely, the determination of tangent lines and extrema using synthetic division. (MP)

An approach to differentiation is illustrated. (DT)
